I think "Pycnogenol" is a single specific formulation of pine bark extract, with the name trademarked by a company.

I wish I could watch a video of these presentations. Feels a bit surreal to see PEM as the presentation topic for all the students.

I hear that. I'm not confident it is the case that spreading awareness and sharing research about this field is counter-productive, but I can maybe see an argument for that. I'm too tired for trying to navigate the politics of research, though I get that it's a big factor in things like this...

This is the study they cite for promising results in post-COVID condition: Preventive effects of Pycnogenol® on cardiovascular risk factors (including endothelial function) and microcirculation in subjects recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) "BACKGROUND: The aim of this open...

HYPOTESIS: We underestimate the risk of chemicals in water and food in ME/CFS Henrik Nielsen EUROMENE Book of Abstracts, p. 10, March 2020 "When conventional organisations of farmers and industry inform that the use of pesticides, chemicals and heavy metal are safe, they make an error. It is...

I'm halfway through Part 3 of Jeannette's blog, and I am much less happy with this study. When Walter Koroshetz said in the symposium something like "effort preference means something different to neurologists; we use it for unconscious moment to moment decisions", I just assumed that was true...

I don't have an issue saying "we don’t know what causes you to not recover". But I will largely have to disagree with the rest. Researchers are barely even looking at this, and for those that are, it is inherently extremely hard to study. I don't know if the issue is that there's a sentiment...

American ME and CFS Society: What Causes ME/CFS? "ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES Organophosphates and other pesticides can trigger symptoms similar to ME/CFS Radiation exposure may be a catalyst for ME/CFS Toxins can cause mitochondrial impairment Environmental toxins have frequently been implicated as...

It seems the OP of the thread experienced profound results, and still improved after over 200 days. Only 7 people tried the first batch, a few of whom had some modest improvements (one went from 1 walk/stand per day to 4). 3 people, including OP, tried the second batch, but didn't experience...

MEpedia has some good information on Pesticide exposure link to ME/CFS.

Total-body PET imaging to identify deep-tissue SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs in Long COVID "This study is the first in the world using advanced imaging technologies to identify deep tissue SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs in Long Covid study participants. Specifically the team is using longitudinal ImmunoPET-CT...

The linked NIH page seems to say that monoclonal antibodies work on earlier strains, and they're not recommended because they're not as effective against later strains. Michael Peluso says as much in the NIH Research Roadmap webinar: "We're taking 30 people with long COVID attributed to a...
